==Overview==
The [[Cult Mechanicus]] believes knowledge to be the manifestation of divinity, and holds that anything embodying or containing knowledge is holy because of it. The vast foundries of the Adeptus Mechanicus are solely responsible for providing to the Imperium of Man all technical devices and machinery from mundane farm equipment to vast interstellar warships.<sup>1</sup>
==Fleet Composition==
The fleets of the Adeptus Mechanicus are composed of types of vessel found in other Imperial fleets as well as more unique vessels, such as the near legendary [[Ark Mechanicus]]. A Mechanicus fleet is usually led by an '''Archmagos [[Explorator]] ''' or '''Archmagos Veneratus'''.<sup>1</sup>
==Battleships==
